Close call..

Saturday night we had some friends over. We made some Apple fritters in the deep fryer, and we left the deep fryer on the counter for the oil to cool. Fast forward a little bit....Talon gets on the counter to get a granola bar out of the cabinet. As he was getting down, he pulled the deep fryer with all the oil on top of him. It went all over his head, face, clothes...everything. Danny yelled for me to get in there, and I saw Talon there with all that oil on him....SCREAMING bloody murder. I swooped him up, and I could feel the heat coming off of him. I stripped him down and put him in the tub. I was terrified that I would see his little face bubble up and peel off. His face was pretty pink..he is so pale, so, any color to his face really shows up. Thankfully the oil had cooled enough that it didn't burn him. It took me a couple of minutes before I realized that he was fine.

After that, I sat there and realized in a blink of an eye, our life could have been changed. Our pretty little boy could have had his whole face, hair, etc. burned from hot oil. He could have been scarred for life, not to mention he would have been in severe pain. All this because of our stupidity, and lack of good judgment.

So, I will never forget this lesson. We will never leave hot oil on the counter again, even if it has the lid on it (because the lid flew off), Talon will never be allowed to get on the counter again (even if there is not hot oil, he could break his neck. lol), and if we use a deep fryer, we will let it cool on the stove top where Talon can't climb up.

Oh my goodness. I can't believe it. This is one of those things that I see on the news and I think, "Is that parent STUPID!?!!" Sometimes parents have a momentary lack of common sense, and we had one of those moments. UGH. Thank God he is fine.

Anyway. The clean up was nothing short of bullcrap. The oil went as far up as the top of the fridge. Our wood floor was completely covered in a film of oil. lol. (Hey, it was shiny, though) We were all sliding around on it all night.

I like this one better...lol

I think the other picture was not a good picture. Did I actually post that picture? ugh.
Anyway. I can deal with looking like these ladies.. Shirley Temple...lol

What the heck...

Hillary Clinton and Bow wow...what? And who is that first person? I have to lose some weight, it is the double chin throwing this off for sure! I swear, I did a photo when I was skinnier, and it said that I was an 80% match for Scarlet Jo Hansen. sigh Buttholes...all of them (those at the site, not Hillary and Bow wow. I have nothing against them..lol)

Fabulous.

Wind Advisory in effect until 6 am CST Friday...
	Tonight Windy. Rain and a chance of thunderstorms in the evening...then a chance of light freezing rain or light snow or light sleet after midnight. No snow and sleet accumulation. Cloudy. Much colder. Lows in the lower 30s. South winds 15 to 25 mph with gusts to near 35 mph becoming southwest 25 to 30 mph with gusts to near 45 mph after midnight. Chance of precipitation 100 percent.

This is the local forecast. I just opened my door and almost got blown away. I am just waiting for our Christmas decorations to go flying by. They will never make it through this wind.

Sigh. AND I think I am going to have to take the boys to the doc again. They both have sore throats ( and buddy their throats are red and swollen- I got the flashlight out and looked). They have been on antibiotics since Sunday afternoon. CRAP!!!!
I hate it that my little boogers are sick. Brian said his head was going to explode ( first thought was meningitis...lol) I made him touch his chin to his chest (I have no idea why, but my sister said to do that and she works in a doctors office ---so she must know something.) He totally could do it--whew!!! He must be okay. (rolling eyes)

Guess what my kids brought home from their dad's house??

Scarlatina. Yeah. Poor babies.
Brett and Brian went to go visit their Dad, and Brett came back with a rash. I took him to the Urgent care clinic and they diagnosed him with scarlatina. Oh my gosh. Nothing that some antibiotics won't cure, but jeez. Then we get home (after running to the doctor and getting the script)..and I got the boys ready for a bath. Brian takes off his shirt and what do I see??? A &@#*#*@* rash! (yes I did cuss). Luckily the doc just called him in a script and we didn't have to go up there again. (which is lucky for me cuz we live in BFE) Brett swore up and down that he wasn't sick, it was just an allergic reaction to his dad's cigarette smoke. (we don't smoke, so he is not use to it). Brett is convinced he has black lung now. lol

Talon is still getting over the croup. He has been on steroids..and that has been interesting. I swear, they must have given us crack instead. It is like that boy takes a dose of crack every morning. That stuff has him crazy.......crazy and aggressive. I just got off the phone with Danny (he and Talon took a trip to Lowe's) and Danny said that Talon just beat up a box (apparently the box had a picture of a man with a rake, and Talon thought the guy was a bad guy and totally kicked his butt right in the middle of Lowe's) Ahhhh..good times.

You can't help but laugh. At least he didn't throw up. That's a plus.

New layout-Beyond cool!

Beyond cool

I used my Beyond cool page kit- SBB store.
http://scrapbookbytes.com/store/product.php?productid=20353&cat=0&page=1

This is Talon, Jayden, Brett and Brian. We were having a big time at a friends' house around the 4th of July. ;)

I used the Quick page, so this only took a few minutes to finish! I love that!

Ethan Charles Charity kit {UPDATE}

Here are Clay and Amanda, right after I gave them all the money that was donated. I also gave them burned CDs of the kit, and I printed out all of the well wishes and words of encouragement from all the people that sent me e-mails.

All that work was well worth it. I got to hand them $500.00 in cash. It won't cover everything they need, but it sure will help.

Thank you to all who donated money, and all those that helped with the kit.

I can't tell you how it felt to get everything together and hand it to them.
